About Us

The Park Hyatt Aviara Resort located in Carlsbad, California offers an elegant blend of modern décor and lush outdoor spaces. Offering on-site accommodations for out of town guests, this large resort serves as an all-inclusive wedding destination. There are a number of indoor and outdoor wedding venues scattered across the resort for wedding parties to choose from. Some are suitable for large gatherings while others provide a more intimate setting. Couples who want to have their ceremony and reception on-site get to decide whether they want to have both in one area, or if they want to move to a secondary area for their reception.

The Palm Courtyard. The Palm courtyard is an outdoor area ideal for large wedding parties with upwards of 100 guests. It overlooks the golf course and the green rolling hills of Aviara. This courtyard contains colorful rose gardens, unique statues and towering California palm trees.

The Grand Ballroom. The Grand Ballroom is an indoor location suitable for large and small wedding parties alike. In its entirety, the Grand Ballroom can accommodate up to 800 guests in a banquet setting, but can be divided into separate units for smaller parties not wanting too much empty space. It is decorated in a majestic gold color scheme and includes exquisite padded-back chairs for a seated reception.

The Avalon. The Avalon is a luxuriously decorated room featuring upholstered walls and velvet drapery. Couples can choose to fill it with smaller round tables, or long banquet style tables. It can accommodate a total of 190 guests and leads directly to an outdoor terrace.

The Avalon Terrace. The Avalon terrace is a beautiful and expansive outdoor space. With a total area of 2,912 square feet, it is ideal for large wedding receptions. The Avalon Terrace can accommodate up to 210 guests in a banquet setting and 390 guests in a reception format. With a stone fireplace and gas lit lanterns, this space stays warm and inviting even on colder nights. The large mosaic fountain adds a decorative touch to this space.

The Golf Clubhouse. The Golf Clubhouse is a 15 minute walk, or 5 minute shuttle ride, from the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort's main building. Perfect for extra large wedding parties, this clubhouse has a 32,000 square foot floor plan. The country club ambiance and warm decor make this space feel cozy despite its vast size. A wraparound terrace makes it easy for guests to step outside and enjoy the warm California weather.

We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception at the Park Hyatt Aviara. We also had about 60 guests who stayed at the hotel for our wedding weekend. We had an outstanding experience! From the initial sales/negotiation stage all the way through the execution of the event,... Read More the Park Hyatt staff were a pleasure to work with and we felt like they really cared about making our wedding a successful event. The hotel grounds are gorgeous. The food was excellent; several guests even said our reception dinner was the best filet mignon they've ever had. The service was exceptional, from the valets, to the front desk, to the banquet staff, everyone was top-notch. We're very happy we chose the Park Hyatt Aviara.

I never in a million years thought I could have my wedding at a 5-star resort, we just aren’t those people. After pain-free, friendly negotiations and compromises, Tami and Claire (event managers onsite) made my dream wedding possible. It was actually 10x better than my dream... Read More wedding. It’s still completely unbelievable. Although we did exceed our original budget, it was absolutely worth every dime. I chose the Palm Courtyard for my outdoor “nature like”, green, whimsical, ceremony and then the Avalon Room and Terrace for the reception. I was skeptical about the banquet type wedding reception but it didn’t feel like that, it felt so private and regal. The indoor/outdoor feel was perfect and really opened up the space. Guest count was around 115. Oh and for you brides, best scenery for photos! Outdoor for natural shots and inside there is an incredible staircase that I so wish I had remembered to include in our wedding photos dang it. As for the hotel itself: Pools were awesome, views breath taking and it even smells incredible with their jasmine infused air filters. I received a suite as part of my wedding package with nice personalized gifts from the hotel staff. The bellmen worked their butts off delivering decorations and luggage and moving items from location A-B. The spa (another perk for booking a wedding here) was top notch. Almost every one of my guests said the food was “the best wedding food they have ever had”. The service staff (especially Linda) really made me feel important and taken care of which I have never had that kind of service before. Guests were having such a good time, I think it was hard for people to leave so the hotel let them linger and lounge on the patio. I feel like I am leaving out important details but all I can say is check with the Hyatt and just see what they can do before settling on an “OK” cheaper venue. They were a valuable resource and extremely helpful during the planning process.

I've had the pleasure of helping hundreds of couples create their special day for the past 16 years. I love getting to know my couples and their family. I still get a thrill during the planning process hearing about the beautiful ideas that our couples have for their wedding...the best part is to see how it all comes together on that special day. Seeing the joy that they have and the love that they are sharing with their family and friends is just about the best feeling I can think of.
